FROM BOX;

At last, a financial game that combines simplicity and the feel of high finance. GOLD! is a game that is easy to get into. It takes about ten minutes to read the rules. you can then enter the world of international finance and begin to manage, or mismanage, your investments. a game for the whole family, that young and old can enjoy together, while learning a little bit about the money that makes the world go round. For two to eight players.

Each player begins the game by selecting his multi-million dollar holdings (hie portfolio) in U.S. and foreign investments, choosing from U.S. Bonds, U.S. Equities (stocks), Japanese Yen bills, German Deutschmark Bonds, British Sterling Gilts, Swiss Franc Deposits, and of course Gold.

Because each player can choose his portfolio, he can adopt the style of play that best suits his personality. some investments are risk, and while a lot can be gained quickly, a lot can be lost just as quickly. Other investments are relatively safe and a player will not gain or lose everything at once. but those are only the extremes. Most investments fall somewhere in between. A player can diversify his holdings and select some investments that are risky and some that are safe, so he can have the best of both worldss. A player's portfolio will dictate how well he wishes to play the game; wildly, conservatively, or moderately.

GOLD! is a game with lots of action and player interaction. Players may have conflicting goals and they will be able to sabatage each other's efforts to some extent. In addition, the actions of other financial experts from all over the world are represented in the form of random occurences.

Shipping can be recalculated upon submission of invoice based on destination and total weight of your order.

My zip is 14207, handling is $1.50 and this game weighs 2 pounds 11 ounces (please remeber to add a pound or so for packing materials).

Remote Control Cars and other merchandise are subject to availability. All merchandise is available when listed, but availability can change without notice.

Payment via PayPal or Google Checkout is accepted & prefered. Payment can be via Cashier's Checks or Money Order, but shipment will wait until payment clears.

Any order for which there is no payment rendered or other communication within three days will simply be canceled. Unfortunately, there is a great number of rude and inconsiderate people who place orders but don't have the common decency to cancel their orders when they change their mind. Changing your mind is not a sin, but not canceling your order then results in other customers being denied access to the product and much wasted time.

Please keep in mind, I am a growing business still in the process of learning and self-discovery, I get my merchandise from many sources including affiliations, drop-shipping, and direct purchase. Shipping is dependant on the source of the items, but I will always work to keep it as low as possible.

Used games and other items bought directly from me are sold "AS IS'. I try to provide pictures and describe them accurately, so this should not be a problem.

The "Shipping" amount listed is basically a "COVER MOST" amount based on my NY zip to a CA zip and adding 1 pound to the games weight for packaging. I am far from perfect, some on the West Coast may actually have to pay a dollar or two more for shipping. I do my best to avoid this, but it is not always possible.

Actual shipping will be calculated upon submission of your order. While Blujay currently has no built-in shipping calculater, you can use the
USPS Postage Rate Calculater if you like. My zip is 14207, most games are 2- 3 pounds (add a pound or so for packaging), and $1.50 for handling fee.

All advertisements are addressed to continental US only, those that live elsewhere need to contact me if interested in any items. I admit a lack of knowledge in international shipping, but it is apparent that declaring items as gifts can have unwanted repercussions so I will not do this. International shipping appears to be rather expensive, please use the USPS Postal Rate Calculator prior to ordering so that you realize just how expensive. NOTE: I will assume no responsibility for items leaving the U.S. Once posted, I will not refund or replace them if lost, damaged or stolen. So I would strongly recommend shipping insurance.

For other items, I have recieved numerous shipments and never had a problem. But feel free to contact me for any unusual problems.
